Ingredients

  • 16 ounces thick sliced bacon
  • 11½ ounces chocolate chips (milk or semi sweet)
  • 2 Tablespoons shortening

Instructions

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees. Place bacon on a cookie sheet and bake for 20 minutes. The crispier, the better.
  • Once the bacon is cooked, blot it with some paper towels to absorb the grease and remove from pan to cool.
  • Place chocolate chips and shortening in a microwave safe bowl and microwave at 30 second intervals stirring often until smooth and completely melted.
  • Using a pastry brush or the backside of a teaspoon coat one side of the bacon completely. When that side is dry, turn it over and coat the other side. (optional: can add holiday sprinkles)
  • Eat them or package them up for gift giving.
